Curriculum

At our core, we see the world as an expansive playground of possibilities. Anchored in three pillars—knowledge pursuit, fostering inquiry, and infusing executive fun—we focus on key aspects. Firstly, we celebrate each child's uniqueness, recognizing their capabilities, confidence, and resilience. Our commitment extends to cultivating positive relationships, fostering independent growth with a loving foundation. Embracing diverse learning and development, we acknowledge individual progress rates. The playground serves as a catalyst for holistic learning, stimulating essential senses. In our approach, each aspect harmoniously contributes to the comprehensive development of the child at Jack & Jill.

GRADE RRR CURRICULUM

For the Grade RRR (ages 2-3) the focus is on stimulating their senses through touch, speech, feel, and observation. Caregivers pay special attention to their need for pampering, structuring the class program to address their unique development requirements. The Smile Early Education program is seamlessly integrated into their daily activities. Potty training, which becomes a significant aspect at this age, is cleverly incorporated into the class program to facilitate learning through play. The daily routine includes exposure to new smells, textures, and visuals, contributing to the development of fine and gross motor skills. Songs and rhymes are incorporated into everyday activities to stimulate audio memory.
